Motherhood. It’s only the beginning…

I know that it has been a really long time since I wrote something on this blog. I understand this little community I've built here gets let down every time I disappear for a long period of time. I now realise that it's like a garden that needs to be tended to in order to …

The moment it all changed

It felt like it took an age to meet my son. But when I finally did, the wait was well worth it. This is a long, long blog post that has a lot of TMI detail! A whole 10 months went by, and I tell you what... It feels like a lot longer when you …

When everything isn’t perfect Pt. 3

It feels like a bit of a dream... Well more accurately a nightmare. I was getting my head around everything that happened in that past week. The emotional roller coaster I was on was incredible, and to be honest all I needed was a reprieve. Unfortunately as I have learnt over the years life just …

When everything isn’t perfect Pt. 2

So Mum was recovering from major surgery, our loving pet Gig was gone and then there was everything else. I want to talk for a moment about my family... About the way we work and what we've been through. Most families have it, that unspoken dynamic . You know each family member inside and out. …

My Superman

The core of this story is Matt. I just can't continue on with telling you all about this little baby without explaining the intricacy of my love for this man. My story for Matt is special and full of love. He is the one I could never have seen coming. A love that completely caught …

The start of a bumpy road

Great. We had decided to leave our fate in "God's hands"... In other words we had decided to keep the baby and continue on with the pregnancy. The dream from here was that everything would work out perfectly and in 9 months time we would just have this baby that we would look after and …

The Decision

No matter what I did, for the next week, the two lines would not leave my mind. I was so consumed by the thought of being pregnant that I could hardly function properly. On the same day I saw those two lines, I had faced the biggest hurdle in my relationship to date. I was …

The Beginning

So it seems I should naturally start this blog at the beginning, and I don't mean the beginning of my life because we would be here for a very long time; but rather the beginning of Danny's life. I've always wanted to have kids. From day dot I've had a "strong maternal streak" as my …
